"I think we mentioned it as before." Sha Zhengyang blinked.

Mark almost jumped up with excitement, "Sha, so, are you really going to intervene in the acquisition of the Orsk refinery? I have to remind you that this is the Russian territory, it's not that simple."

"Simple, do we still need to cooperate with you JP Morgan?" Sha Zhengyang asked back: "Or, you JP Morgan lack the foundation in Russia?"

"**! How is that possible?" Mark suddenly became excited, "I tell you, we have a few people closest to the Kremlin, we have dealt with JP Morgan. Behind the Olsk refinery is Khodorkovsky. The Olsk refinery has poor performance, which has dragged down Yukos' valuation. He wants to take action, but he doesn't want his own people to take over. You Chinese finally see a good opportunity."

"If you only need to take advantage of the poor performance, then the price..." Sha Zhengyang said softly.

"Oh, Sha, please don't use this set to deal with me again. We are partners, and success is a good thing for both of us."

Mark's head is about to hurt. This guy is even harder than a fox. He attaches great importance to bargaining with various reasons, which will make you exhausted.

"Do I have it? Of course we are partners, and our interests are consistent, right?" Sha Zhengyang shrugged, "but partners also need to make some topics clear."

When dealing with this guy, you can't be careless. Although he seems rough, he is particularly meticulous. Every negotiation details are repeatedly considered. Otherwise, JP Morgan would not let him serve as project manager.

"Stop, sand, about the Olsk refinery, I think we have professionals to evaluate its assets, and you don't have to waste time on this issue with me." Mark decisively interrupted the other party, "We'll go back to the topic we were discussing,..."

Sha Zhengyang was a little regretful and could not fool this guy. It seemed that the revolution had not been successful yet and comrades still needed to work hard.

I stayed in Almaty for half a month, and had some contact with JP Morgan, Kazakh State Assets Administration, Kazakh State Oil Company, and Akjiubin Oil Company, and I also learned about the recent situation of Akjiubin Oil Company.

Akjiubin Oil Company is now heavily in debt and not only owes bank loans, but also owes a lot of taxes.

Once you take over, you must first pay the tax.

Moreover, the wages of more than 9,000 employees have not been paid for several months. The bank has frozen all the company's accounts. It can be said that the company is only one step away from bankruptcy.

The complex relationships and bureaucracy within Akjiubin Oil Company are also one of the main reasons that put the oil company on the verge of despair. This problem can only be solved after gaining control of Akjiubin Oil Company.

It was already mid-May when Sha Zhengyang flew back to Handu.

After staying in Kazakhstan for more than a month, Sha Zhengyang successfully lost five kilograms.

His dietary discomfort, lack of vegetables, and unadaptation to the climate directly made him lose weight successfully, but in the later stages, he had gradually adapted.

But no matter what, it is impossible to compare with returning to his hometown.

May in Handu is undoubtedly the most pleasant season. A shirt and a pair of trousers, and hearing the surrounding accent, this makes Sha Zhengyang, who returns to Handu, feel like returning to heaven.

Relying on the back of the Crown 3.0, Sha Zhengyang felt a complicated feeling of exhaustion, but extremely excited and unable to fall asleep.

He only stayed at the airport for two hours before flew back to Handu.

Qian Xuan came to the airport to meet Sha Zhengyang and had an hour of chatting.

The driver assigned to Sha Zhengyang by the group company is Ma. He is in his thirties and is a veteran. He talks little and is a little taciturn, but he is very simple.

When the car drove into the gate of the group company, Sha Zhengyang was still a little dazed.

Just come back like this?

No, I just came back in a short time, and I will meet Almaty in a week, waiting for the final result of the bidding in Kazakhstan.

"Are you exhausted?" Zhong Guangbiao looked at Sha Zhengyang's haggard face and sighed a little, so he personally soaked a cup of bamboo leaf green for Sha Zhengyang.

"I can't say I'm tired, mainly because I'm not used to the diet and climate there." Sha Zhengyang shook his head.

He asked Zhong Guangbiao's secretary to find a wet towel for him, soaked it in cold water, wiped his face, and restored his mind to a little more sober.

"This is probably one of the biggest problems we have after taking over Akjiubin Petroleum Company." Zhong Guangbiao paused, "High Officer You also told me when he came back, do you intend to engage in agricultural development and greenhouse vegetables there?"

"Well, I have this idea." Sha Zhengyang nodded, "The conditions in Akjiubin City are too poor, and they are poor in all aspects. The land resources are extremely abundant and there are lack of vegetables. I think that building an agricultural project can not only meet the needs of our Chinese people there, but also provide it to local people. The prices of vegetables shipped out are too expensive. I believe such a project will definitely be very welcome."

"You, you, you can really make trouble." Zhong Guangbiao looked at Sha Zhengyang and took a sip of bamboo-leaf green tea as if he was enjoying it. He half-closed his eyes and seemed to be savoring it. He smiled and shook his head, "I think it's okay, why do you think you can invest with Changchuan Industrial?"

"Oh?" Sha Zhengyang opened his eyes and thought for a while. "There is indeed a Fengdeng Agricultural Development Company under Changchuan Industrial, but it seems to be a half-dead empty shell, right? I thought, by the way, I used to do ecological organic agriculture, and I circled hundreds of acres of land to make pure ecological green fruits and vegetables at the foot of Gongshan in the southern suburbs of Handu. As a result, I lost all my underwear and it has long been abandoned."

Changchuan Industry is really full of everything, and even organic agriculture can be done.

However, in this era, it seems a bit ahead of the curve. The market is enough to drive many people into the abyss.

Zhong Guangbiao laughed and sighed, "This is the current situation of Changchuan Industrial. After the Kazakhstan country is finished, you must be mentally prepared."

"Well, Secretary Zhong, you said that, what else can I say?" Sha Zhengyang cheered up, "You must be worthy of yourself and the organization."

"How is the situation? Although you said a lot on the phone, I still have to listen to it in person before I can feel at ease."

Zhong Guangbiao has always been paying attention to it. Although he has not gone to Kazakhstan, he is worried about all kinds of guarantees from finance to funds and then to subsequent guarantees.

"I think it should be very sure." Sha Zhengyang knew that the leaders liked to hear this sentence, but it was the truth.

"The bidding price is expected to be between 280 million and 320 million US dollars. No matter how high it is, it is a bit risky. I also asked the technical team specifically how confident the Kenkiyak Salt Oilfield is, they all feel confident. But after all, no one dares to guarantee that this kind of thing has not been produced. However, even if there is no salt oilfield, it should be sure to restore Nanor to a production capacity of 2.5 million to 3 million tons per year. The annual output of the Kenkiyak Salt Oilfield is still no problem."

"There is an annual production capacity of 3 million tons. If it can be transported back by railway transportation, it will be worth US$320 million." Zhong Guangbiao silently estimated, "The reserves of Nanor oil field are 120 million tons, and the mining volume over the past ten years is only 30 million tons. At least 60 million tons can be recovered. It will be worth it to stabilize the production of ten to fifteen years. The reserves of Kenkiyak salt-super oil field are only one-third of that of Nanor,..."

"Secretary Zhong, this is not counted as the salt-salt oil field." Sha Zhengyang's reminder did not let Zhong Guangbiao go. "I didn't see the oil coming out, and I can't count it all. However, as long as we can solve the source of our crude oil, it can be accepted. I have been in contact with PetroChina here for two rounds. They basically agreed that if we take over this project, the crude oil can be transported back by railway and can be directly unloaded to the Dushanzi oil refinery."

"Oh? Is CNPC ready?" Sha Zhengyang laughed, "Is there any problem with Qindu Petrochemical?"

"It's solved, and the agreement will be completed the second week after you left." Zhong Guangbiao was also very proud. If he took down the action of Akjiubin Petroleum Company, CNPC still doesn't know how to negotiate. "In addition, they also took the initiative to mention the issue of the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline."

"Oh? They have obtained the central government's authorization?" Sha Zhengyang was a little surprised.

This is not just something that companies can do. Without multiple rounds of negotiations between the top leaders of the two governments, it is impossible to get it.

Moreover, under the current oil prices, it is estimated that Kazakhstan may not have much interest, that is, China is more interested.

"It should be obtained, but they also know that this is still up to the finalization of the top leaders of the two countries, but they hope to start some preliminary preparations in advance." Zhong Guangbiao was also a little worried about this, "I always feel that they seem to be anxious and want to intervene."

"It's okay if you don't have to hurry." Sha Zhengyang could understand that once Sinopec split next year, Sinopec will be a super enterprise that integrates upstream and downstream in the future. Whoever Changhe Energy cooperates with can choose a partner.

"I also exchanged opinions with them. They were not very interested in the pipeline from Atlau to Kenkiyak, and believed that the output of the Kenkiyak oil field would be difficult to increase significantly. Although the oil and gas resources along the Caspian Sea coast are abundant, if this section alone is just a little meaningful to domestic crude oil imports, unless it can extend from Atlau to Kenkiyak to east and to Xinjiang in our country. That would be fine, but this seems too far away."

"Then there is nothing we can do. Our short-term interests cannot be consistent with them. As for the long term, we have to wait until the interaction between the top leaders of the two countries reaches a certain stage before we can achieve it." Sha Zhengyang shook his head, "Let's talk to them for the time being, we have to follow our own path."
